Well the doctor I saw today said I wouldn’t get any moving forward as I’m not diabetic and to return to the surgery if In the future I had any symptoms of diabetes or gained my weight back. I tried to argue the point that surely checks would be needed but he said not as I no longer class as...

Excellent results!!! Well done you

I do see that side. My family are very much of that opinion. Well done me. I’m amazing ;) I do have a monitor so will continue to see where my levels are at and always will. And of course i do know why would I want a label of an illness. I’m young. I want a label of perfectly healthy. Just feels...

My first diagnosis bloods were taken mid September. I was taking some prescribed tablets for chronic heartburn and had been since mid August - would have to check when I get home the name of them. I don’t believe they were a steroid but in honesty I don’t know. That’s the only medication I was...

Thanks for this! I’m going to go back whenever I can get an appointment and moan some more. So frustrating that something that should be so simple and so important for doctors to get right seems such hard work! Once again what would I do without this forum!!

Could my diagnosis being off one blood test be clouding that issue as he was very quick to query why I hadn’t had repeats or fasting blood glucose check. Which I obviously don’t have the answer to. I had bloods for another issue and was diagnosed diabetic from them. At the time that shook my...

I suppose I see my diet as my medication. Stop taking it and the diabetes will be back because carbs do that to me. So how can that ever be ‘normal’. It is surely just well controlled but ultimately the underlying illness is still there?

Thank you - that was my original understanding of it. I am going to arrange another appointment to query this. You begin to doubt yourself when you’re in there and basically being shut down but will persevere until I can at least get some reassurance of checks

That’s good to know. I was under the impression that even when resolved/reversed/in remission etc that that would be the case. So yes I think I will try again with my doctor and see what he says

Well my gp is the one who put ‘cured’ on my notes which it turns out he did in December after only my 1st Hba1c since diagnosis and back then I was on metformin. So I was actually quite relieved to see a different doctor thinking I’d get a different viewpoint. Apparently not though. I think for...

I will eat this way forever. Diabetes aside it’s resolved other health issues I’ve had tests and various things done for years with no results and so it works for me on many levels. I would be happier classed as diabetic and still getting my annual reviews and checks. It’s a diagnosis I never...

4.5 for me this morning

50 lengths again tonight. Consistent is becoming my middle name ;)

I love most lunch times at the hot counter in the supermarket near my work. Chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken quarters, ribs. I’m not the best planner - I’m improving slightly but find the hot counter such a quick and easy option

Excellent result. Well done!

Evening all. Been crazy couple of days so just catching up. @Chronicle_Cat you are an inspiration. You look amazing!! A gin induced 5.4 yesterday morning and a 4.8 this morning for me

Thought I’d post now whilst sat waiting for Ellie to finish her cheerleading practice (2nd session of the day) B: snuck out to a pub for breakfast with my husband whilst Ellie had training so I had 3 sausage, 4 bacon, 2 eggs, 2 large mushrooms, 2 grilled half tomatoes and a naughty hash brown (I...

Happy birthday
